Scottish independence: Five reasons Salmond is secretly hoping for a 'No' vote, The Independent

has made realising the dream of an independent Scotland his life’s work. But as
the nitty-gritty issues behind that dream have been debated endlessly over

why he may be secretly praying his countrymen vote No tomorrow.

taking a huge gamble on oil. All of the Yes Campaign’s budgeting for the future

optimistic and pessimist are just that: predictions. It’s a pretty scary thing
to base the future of an independent country on.
